Who is the journal for?

[摘要] A GP with no academic credentials might be unwise to criticise apparently minor slips in the BJGP, and might himself be deemed ‘not good enough’ by that board. However, your declared editorial wish to attract and publish criticism may prompt others with quixotic and obsessional personalities to write to you, providing material for research on the serious disorder of dissent from the common view. Can the Journal be taken seriously when Edzard Ernst's interesting paper is entitled ‘Complimentary Medicine’ on the Journal's outer cover, and a similar mistake is repeated in ‘The Back Pages’? On page 24 I read that a patient is suffering from ‘blood cancer’, an expression perhaps for those lay people who have not heard of leukaemia or red cell equivalents, but not really for a medical journal.
